The Screen Gems sets of I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched were right next to each other at the studio, and many of the actual sets and props were shared between the two shows. Both shows also shared Dick Albain, the Special Effects expert, who worked on the two shows for quite awhile.
It was absolutely prohibited (until the late 1960s) for Jeannie (Barbara Eden), to show her navel on the air, due to the strict censorship of American TV programming.
The Lady in the Bottle (series 1)
The language Barbara Eden first speaks when she is released from the bottle is Farsi; she was coached by a UCLA professor.
Jeannie bounces from the chair to a kneeling position on the couch next to Tony. In an earlier take, Barbara Eden lost her balance and hit her mouth on Larry Hagman's knee and broke a tooth.
One of Our Bottles is Missing (series 2)
The set used for the Bellows' house was the same one used for the Stephens' house in "Bewitched".
My Master, the Author (series 2)
Jeannie is excited over finding "an original Ansara" at the art gallery. At the time, Barbara Eden was married to Michael Ansara.
Butch Patrick, who plays Richard, is better known as Eddie on The Munsters.
Happy Anniversary (series 2)
Michael Ansara, who played the Blue Djinn in this episode, was also Barbara Eden's husband at the time.
Here Comes Bootsie Nightingale (series 3)
Jeannie miniaturizes herself and hides behind a flowerpot in Bootsie's dressing room. The same flowerpot - and accompanying oversized prop for Barbara Eden to hide behind - was also seen in Tony's living room in "Meet My Master's Mother".
Abdullah (series 4)
Listen to the music in the background when Roger is trying to calm the baby. The same melody was used throughout "Bewitched" in scenes involving Tabitha.
The Wedding (series 5)
At the wedding rehearsal, Jeannie is blinking at the photographers' flashbulbs to make them explode, since genies cannot be photographed. Actress Barbara Eden forgets to blink at the first one, and is startled when it explodes.
